LMAO!!!
Thats a good one, and im sure that guy would want to quit his job after that.
I had a friend who worked as one of those poor people for a while, good money for not doing much other than going insane while you drive others crazy...
She told me the secrete was to keep the marketers on the line as long as possible without buying anything, it drives down their numbers and can get them fired. Basically, if they spent 5 minutes on the phone with a dud sale, then that's how ever many more people that they could have called if you just hung up. They LIKE it when you just hang up on them.
Another tactic I was told was that it's illegal for any telemarketer to discuss politics or religion. If you bring up either subject they have about 30 seconds to direct you back to whatever they are trying to sell or THEY have to hang up.
Again, a friend of a friend worked as a marketer and almost got fired for something ridiculous like saying "god bless you too" to a person on the phone at the end of a call. Big federal fines if the company gets busted, even for the marketer.
The trick being, you get called by Mr. So-and-so of Whoever's company and he tells you about this product or service and you ask if his company supports the current president, or if they follow this or that religion. All you have to do is keep bringing it up and the marketer will have to hang up and take you off their list. ;) :)
Anyone else know any tactics for driving telemarketers into the ground??? :)
